GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- It only took one trip to the plate on Thursday afternoon for Rajai Davis to show what he can still offer the Indians. After drawing a walk against Padres lefty Joey Lucchesi, Davis promptly stole second base, advanced to third on a wild pitch and then trotted home on a single from Jose Ramirez.
"The biggest thing is he looks like Raj," Indians manager Terry Francona said.
That is why, following discussions behind the scenes on Wednesday and more conversations on Thursday morning, Davis was informed that he will be a part of Cleveland's Opening Day roster.
